Illusions Illuminate

Intangible illusions illuminate
through streams of 
irrefutable dreams. 
A hypnotist of phrases,
a hypnotist of the mind,
He plays doctor beautifully
blind. 
 
Dreamy, doubtful, distanced
does the doctor. Wise yet worried,
I wonder what makes him 
cry?
Surely not the sounds of the
whirling wind whistling by?
But the other day,
out in the leaves,
a cool soft breeze
passed,
and I saw him weeping
at last! 

It is not the pain;
nor is it the personal. 
I just want to be certain he
feels:
I will be satisfied when 
I see a tear;
if only I could collect it:
to remind me of
miracles.
